“Let it be understood, today more than ever, that society needs doctrines that are strong and consistent. In the midst of the general dissolution of ideas, assertion alone—assertion, which is firm, nourished, without alloy—can make itself accepted. Debates are becoming more and more sterile, and each of them chips away a piece of the truth. As in the first days of Christianity, it is necessary for Christians to shock everyone by the unity of their principles and judgments. They have nothing to learn from this chaos of negations, and experiments of every sort, which attest so strongly to the powerlessness of contemporary society. This society no longer lives, except in the scattered debris of ancient Christian civilization that revolutions have not yet taken away and that the mercy of God has preserved from shipwreck until now. Show yourself, therefore, as you really are: a convinced Catholic. Society, perhaps, will be afraid of you for a while; but be sure, it will come back to you.”

Compassionem tamquam cupressum suaveolentem, fidem tanquam cedrum, veram charitatem tanquam pinum afferentes. Domine crucem adoremus, glorificantes eum qui in illa affixus est, liberatorem.

‘Venerating the Cross of our Lord, and glorifying our Redeemer, who was nailed upon it, let us present him a threefold homage: our Compassion, like the fragrant cypress; our Faith, like the cedar; our Love, like the pine.’

Review of 'The Liturgical Year' (1870) as Latin Learning Material

Review of ‘The Liturgical Year’ (1870) as Latin Learning Material

Written by Dyami Millarson The 1870 book titled The Liturgical Year by Prosper Guéranger (available in Google Books), which was translated to English by Laurence Shepherd, contains Latin texts with translations. The Latin used in the liturgical texts in the book is relatively simple by Classical Latin standards, which is good news if you want to practise Latin. I would estimate the texts to be…

“Today, more than ever, society needs doctrines that are strong and consistent with one another. In the midst of the general dissolution of ideas, only an affirmation, a firm, well-founded, uncompromising affirmation, will be able to make itself accepted. Transactions become more and more fruitless, and each one of them carries away a shred of truth. Show yourselves, therefore, to be such as you are in reality, convinced Catholics. There is a grace attached to the full and entire confession of the Faith. This confession, the Apostles tells us, is the salvation of those who make it; and experience demonstrates that it is also the salvation of those who hear it.”

- Prosper Louis Pascal Guéranger

Jesus, who is born tonight, is born thrice. He is born of the Blessed Virgin, in the stable of Bethlehem; He is born by grace, in the hearts of the shepherds, who are the first fruits of the Christian Church; and He is born from all eternity in the bosom of the Father, in the brightness of the saints.

27 December – St John the Apostle and Evangelist. The days following Christmas are full of symbolic meaning, as on 26 December we honor the first Martyr, St Stephen, who shed his blood for Jesus. 27 December, honors St John the Evangelist, the Disciple of Jesus who wrote the Gospel of John and the book of Revelation. Interestingly enough, he is the only Gospel writer to omit a narrative of Jesus’ birth. Based on this fact alone, it seems strange to include him during the Octave of Christmas. What is the Church’s reason behind this choice? Servant of God, Dom Prosper Guéranger in his Liturgical Year, points to St John’s pure chastity and his focus on the Divinity of Christ, as the reasons why he is honored now at the Crib of Christ. Traditional iconography has represented St John as an eagle, “symbolizing” (in the words of the Catholic Encyclopedia) “the heights to which he rises in the first chapter of his Gospel.” Like the other evangelists, he is sometimes symbolized by a book; and a later tradition used the chalice as a symbol of St John, recalling Christ’s words to John and James the Greater in Matthew 20:23, “My chalice indeed you shall drink.” A MARTYR WHO DIED A NATURAL DEATH Christ’s reference to the chalice inevitably calls to mind His own Agony in the Garden, where He prays, “My Father, if this chalice may not pass away but I must drink it, thy will be done” (Matthew 26;42). It thus seems a symbol of martyrdom and yet John, alone among the apostles, died a natural death. Still, he has been honored as a martyr from the earliest days after his death, because of an incident related by Tertullian, in which John, while in Rome, was placed in a pot of boiling oil but emerged unharmed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CX_RtikrNNl/?utm_medium=tumblr

14 AGOSTO VIGILIA DELL’ASSUNZIONE DI MARIA SANTISSIMA  Il quadro austero e penitenziale degli Uffici, che precedono le grandi solennità, lascia spesso intravvedere la gioia, contenuta ma gustosa, di un’attesa. Letture e canti della vigilia dell’Assunzione portano questa caratteristica, che lascia indovinare il travaglio di una grazia premurosa. Né parole, né riti però provocano per primi questa…

In Dom Prosper Guéranger’s famous The Liturgical Year, he spends a chapter going through each part of the Mass as it is experienced in Septuagesima. It is of course the TLM, as he wrote this in the 19th century. It serves as a really great and fairly concise guide to the TLM, all the parts and prayers, with brief descriptions of what the priest is doing and what we might be or ought to be meditating on at each moment. You can read the whole book online; the chapter on the Mass is in the section on Septuagesima, chapter 5. (Because of the formatting it won’t link further than the table of contents.)

Feast of the Most Holy Trinity - 12 June

Feast of the Most Holy Trinity – 12 June

Feast of the Most Holy Trinity By Abbot Prosper Guéranger OSB (1805-1875 The very essence of the Christian Faith consists in the knowledge and adoration of One God in Three Persons. This is the Mystery whence all others flow. Our Faith centres in this, as in the Master-Truth of all it knows in this life and, as the Infinite Object, Whose vision is to form our eternal happiness. And yet, we only…

[servus-immaculatae]

Our newborn King and Saviour is eight days old today; the Star that guides the Magi is advancing towards Bethlehem, and five days hence will be standing over the Stable where our Jesus is being nursed by his Mother. To-day the Son of Man is to be circumcised; this first sacrifice of his innocent Flesh must honour the eighth day of his mortal life. Today also a Name is to be given him: the Name will be Jesus, and it means Saviour. So that mysteries abound on this day: let us not pass one of them over, but honour them with all possible devotion and love. But this day is not exclusively devoted to the Circumcision of Jesus. The mystery of this Circumcision forms part of that other great mystery, the Incarnation and Infancy of our Saviour - a mystery on which the Church fixes her heart not only during this Octave, but during the whole forty days of Christmastide. Then, as regards our Lord’s receiving the Name of Jesus, a special Feast, which we shall soon be keeping, is set apart in honour of it. There is another object that shares the love and devotion of the Faithful on this great Solemnity. This object is Mary, the Mother of God. The Church celebrates to-day the august prerogative of this divine Maternity which was conferred on a mere creature, and made her the co-operatrix with Jesus in the great work of man’s salvation... But it is today that we, the children of the Roman Church, must pour forth all the love of our hearts for the Virgin-Mother, and rejoice with her in the exceeding happiness she feels at having given birth to her and our Lord. During Advent we contemplated her as pregnant with the world’s salvation; we proclaimed the glory of that Ark of the New Covenant, whose chaste womb was the earthly paradise chosen by the King of Ages for his dwelling-place. Now she has brought him forth, the Infant-God; she adores him, him who is her Son. She has the right to call him her Child; and he, God as he is, calls her in strictest truth his Mother.
